amazing breakfastyummy menueasy communicationsealed windowsdark roomnoisy landing
The breakfast was AMAZING! they had a super yummy traditional menu plus some extra fancy options. communication with the staff was easy. They even gave a quick call before. i found nice treats in my room when i got there. the rooms decoration were cool, and it had a fan which was a major win because it was so warm.
i stayed for just one night and wanted something a bit special, but the room was a little dark for my taste. the windows was also sealed shut, it felt stuffy. the landing outside had no carpet, this made the noise from other guests bit of a problem.

The breakfast was a feast. I savored every bite of the homemade granola. our room, a beautiful double room, was clean, perfect. the little touches, like the room refresh, were so thoughtful.
Our room felt a bit too small for us, a couple wanting a romantic getaway. the shower nozzle did leak a bit. It made a mess. i missed having a bin in the room. It was inconvenient.

The location was convenient, with access to the city center. The room was well-decorated and generally tidy.
I felt the experience was overpriced for what it offered. I never found a reception desk despite it being a bed and breakfast (this were great. The promise of cake and milk upon arrival was not fulfilled, and later requests for them were also ignored.

the communication regarding check-in worked well. i found the room to be nicely decorated and well maintained. the breakfast offered was tasty and copious. all the staff displayed friendly and skilled service.
i found the secondary glazing insufficient, as it didn't completely block street noise. internal noise also matched the age of the hotel. a group smoking outside the front door upon my return late at night felt off-putting.

the hotel is centrally located within the city. it allows easy access to many attractions. walking to the cathedral and adjacent green grounds is convenient and enjoyable given the proximity.
